GECCO 2000 Las Vegas, Student Travel Grants
Student Travel Grants are available for GECCO 2000.
First priority will be given to students with papers
in the conference and to PhD students who take part in the
Graduate Student Workshop on July 8. This workshop is designed
to allow PhD students to discuss their research in a stimulating
environment and to get useful feedback on their work.
The GECCO-2000 Student Travel Grant application as well as
more information on GECCO-2000 follows below.
There are also still opportunities to submit LATE BREAKING PAPERS
to GECCO-2000. More information on GECCO 2000, which will be held
in Las Vegas, can be found on the webpage address listed below.
Also included below are the lists of the free tutorials and workshops
which will be part of GECCO-2000.
Student Travel Grant applications are due March 31, 2000.
